About this title

Synopsis

What survivors of rape need to hear more than anything else is that they are not alone in their alternating feelings of anger, bitterness, sadness, and grief. In Who's Afraid of the Dark? thirty rape survivors provide this reassurance by sharing how their lives have been affected. Singly, these memorable and heartfelt pieces stand as testaments to the ultimate strength and resilience of the individuals who wrote them. Together, they are powerful proof for all survivors that, whether it takes months or years, and whatever their individual circumstances, it is possible to regain the trust, hope, and self-esteem that have been robbed so brutally from them.
Also included is an introduction offering information about the long-term effects of rape, as well as a listing of important sources of further help and referral.
